Their lives consisted of harvesting coconuts, growing vegetables & fruit and of course nourishing themselves with fishing. In those days reaching Koh Toa required a treacherous boat trip from the nearby islands or the main land, if and when the seas &weather permitted, but the residents continued to increase progressively all the same, even when the simple life was hard and without a large amount reward.
Ko Tao offers a lot of popular things to do one being diving at most of Kohtao bays.
Kohtao is in the middle of a natural paradise full of swaying palms and crystal clear turquoise waters.
Straight after the terrible events of the December 2004 Tsunami, the type of tourist visiting KohTao have changed, previously it had been a Mecca for backpackers, year out students along their way south to Malaysia and beyond. All the prisoners were all repatriated and transported to Suratthani on the mainland and the island was a desert island yet again. These were the twin brothers Khun Ueam and Khun Oh who reached KohTao by boat from the neighboring island of Kohphangan, KoTao was still under Royal Patronage in those days but it didn't stop those fortune seekers from claiming their stake of land. In the early days getting to KohTao required a treacherous boat trip from the main land or near by islands, if and when the seas &weather permitted but the population continued to grow firmly all the same, even when simple life was hard without much reward. Local fishermen and farmers saw that people from other places were expanding their island to accommodate the needs of all these new visitors and they too immediately launched a businesses to satisfy all the clients demands. |
